Because Felice Orsini doesn't attempt to Napoleon III life and/or the Kingdom of Sardinia , ruled by a less able prime minister than Camillo Benso Conte of Cavour, doesn't partecipate in the Crimean war .
We could consider two options:
a) Napoleon III leaves the Italians on their own and he gets involved in other enterprises maybe overseas.
b) Napoleon III even threatens the Sardinians to get Savoy and Nice which were historically the reward for the French partecipation in the Second Italian War of Indipendence
What's going to happen to the Peninsula? Will it be able to achieve unification vs Austria without the support of a great power?
